Constantly crashing since the update

[terex 10]

Game was working fine before this update and now I can't play at all. I connect to a server and within a few mins or 5mins, 20 mins my game hard locks up and I have to restart my computer. Another problem is is that it just loads to a black screen and does nothing.

Just reinstalled it, updated drivers and going to test it out in a bit.

Same situation and received reports of others having similar issues, i rolled back my graphic drivers and even checked the integrity of the game files on steam and it still crashed, was working fine pre arma patch.

Hi everybody,

i post here because i have the same problem. It is not possible for me to play to Arma 3 (Westland) after this update. Before i had no problem. But now, my game has random crashes after 5/10/15 minutes. My sreen is block with no error. I must kill the Arma3 process.

I didn't have this problem in Poney(helicopter) during one hour.

I put my video driver up to date, no change.

I deleted all my addons(5), no change.

I verify my Arma 3 local files with steam, no change.

My friend has the same problem.

Same here, after last patch. Game is unplayable. Can only play in short periodes of time. Crashes all the time when on King of the Hill servers.

In the same boat. Black screen lock-up. The problem is the report file doesn't show the offending command. wtf?

Just reinstalled it, updated drivers and going to test it out in a bit.

I'm getting the exact same issue. No error message or anything, just a hard freeze that requires me to physically press the reset switch on my case. I've never had any issues with the game until today. At first I thought I was having some sort of hardware failure then I read online where everyone else is also crashing. This patch has pretty much broken the game for me, I cannot play more than 5 minutes without a hard lockup.

if you get in-game crashes then please visit A3 Feedback Tracker and create ticket about it

remember to attach .mdmp, .bidmp, .rpt file from moment of the crash (in archive)

Where do we go about finding those files to upload them?

BTW, now I'm just getting a freeze, then after a few seconds a black screen. I am able to alt+ctrl+del to bring up the task manager and have to manually close Arma 3. I'm not getting any crash message because I have to manually kill the Arma 3 process in the task manager. I talked to a friend of mine and he is having the exact same issue playing the King of the Hill mod. It is apparent this is a broken patch and needs to be rolled back until you can figure out what is causing everyone to crash. I'm just looking at the list of servers I usually play on and they are all at about half the number of players as usual due to all the crashing.

[integerdevourer 16]

Same issue.

Drivers crash after a few minutes of play, something in Altis is crashing them. I was playing Takistan all night with no issue but switched to a Wasteland server and blam. The game itself isn't crashing and I'm forced to alt-f4 from a black screen and then restart my computer because the screen is messed up.

Can't and won't play ARMA until this is fixed. :(

The A3 Feedback tracker isn't sending me a confirmation email so I have been unable to create a ticket.

[smiley_ie 7]

Played on 3 servers last night didn't experience any crash's.

[ozzbik 71]

Could it be that the battleeye software causes the lockups?

[Streuso 10]

I have the same issue, black screen while the game still running and no message, this happens after 10-15 minutes of gameplay in different KOTH servers. Only Killing arma 3 process unlock my pc. Never had similar crash since Arma 3 Alpha, i thought was my system wrong but asking other players they have same problem. This patch is broken for some people.

[s3xmachinegun 10]

Played on 3 servers last night didn't experience any crash's.

I talked with a lot more people on Koth servers having the same issue with crashes, so not everyone is posting here or to the feedback tracker.

Gonna do some more testing now before sending reports to Dwarden and his team

Everyone posting here should include at least their specs like I did in my previous post. Easier to find possible problems. Are you all AMD CPU users?

@Dwarden: perhaps you guys should make a report tool, that find the correct files and send system specs and running software to you. Just an idea.

Update: Now even the launcher is crashing...

After changing login account and using a new account that did not have any Arma 3 config files active at, I got this error in addition:

Also made a feedback tracker issue about it http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=24378
